/// **What it does:** Checks for 
///  - () being assigned to a variable
///  - () being passed to a function
///
/// **Why is this bad?** It is extremely unlikely that a user intended to assign '()' to valiable. Instead,
///   Unit is what a block evaluates to when it returns nothing. This is typically caused by a trailing 
///   unintended semicolon. 
///
/// **Known problems:** None.
///
/// **Example:**
/// * `let x = {"foo" ;}` when the user almost certainly intended `let x ={"foo"}`
